Game-Winner From Phil Kessel Lifts Arizona to Victory
5 years agoArizona Coyotes forward Phil Kessel scored his 13th goal of the season Saturday night, giving the Coyotes a lead over the Capitals that they would hold for the rest of the game. Kessel's tally came on the power play, his ninth power-play goal of the season, and while his power-play goal total is nearing a career-best mark, it is concerning that such a large portion of his goals have come with the man advantage. Paired with seeing only 11:04 minutes of ice time on Saturday and the second-lowest goals per game pace (0.21 goals per game) of his career, and it is clear to see how his first season in the desert has soured plenty of fantasy managers on him. Kessel's fantasy value survives only by his power-play scoring, but at this point his reputation carries more value than is on-ice production.
